This year, would you like to create 9 weeks of full
time class (40 hours per week), become healthier
at the same time, and accomplish more even though
you take time for class? Is there something you
would like
to know that would
make your life better, if only you had more time?
Something that you could
learn that would make you better at your job?
Would you like to learn a foreign language, or
study history, or learn better management or
parenting skills?

Buy a waterproof CD player or iPod and you can walk
and listen to books on almost any subject you wish
to study. If you walk 3 miles per day at a leisurely
pace, you’ll spend about 1 hour per day walking–
that’s 365 hours over the course of a year. Divide
365 by 8 and you’ll see that allows you 45.6
workdays (8 hours long). Assume a 5-day
workweek. That means you’ll get 9.1 weeks (over 2
months out of the year) of study, by walking one
hour per day and listening while you walk. You’ll also
find that you’ll remember more of what you hear
while walking than you do while sitting in class.

Consider the wonderful opportunity that has come
about in the past few years: When I first started
doing the miles back around 1975, there were no
personal, portable tape players. Now, just a few 30
or so years later, when I walk, I can take with me
prophets, poets, scientists, business leaders, college
professors, or my favorite comedian.

Now, you can buy whole college courses on CD or in
digital downloadable form and literally listen to
courses from Ivy League colleges while walking down
the street in your neighborhood pushing your three-
year-old child in a stroller.

While walking I’ve been through the Bible several
times, learned much of the material presented to me
in medical school (lectures were recorded), learned
to speak some Italian and Spanish), reviewed medical
research updates, learned history, science,
marketing, business, and parenting skills.

While walking, you’re more alert and remember more
than when sitting. There’s usually no one around to
distract you from what you’re learning. You can fast
forward if the teacher goes slowly or listen again if
you missed something important.

My father, who didn’t finish college, can talk about
almost anything because he has a library full of
recorded material he listened to while walking over
the past 20 years. First, he carried cassettes, then
CD’s, and now he downloads the Wall Street Journal
and an occasional book every morning before
walking. He’s financially independent on money he
made largely using knowledge he gained while walking
and listening. Yes, I am saying a big part of the
reason he’s financially independent, living healthily in
a coastal town is because he made time to walk and
listen.

Still don’t think you have time to walk? I don’t
either. I wake up every morning to go to “walking
class.” I try to learn something that will make life
easier that day. The extra energy and knowledge
that comes from that walk saves me more time than
it costs.

Abraham Lincoln said if he had 4 hours to cut down a
tree, he would spend 3 hours sharpening his ax and
one hour chopping the tree. The “walking class”
makes an excellent way to sharpen your ax.
